So, how can we make sure that we're moving more? Here are a few tips:
- Make it fun. If you don't enjoy your workout, you're less likely to stick with it. So choose activities that you enjoy, whether that's walking, running, biking, swimming, or playing sports.
- Make it a family affair. One of the best ways to get kids moving is to make it a family activity. Go for walks together, play in the park, or take a family bike ride.
- Make it a habit. The more you move, the easier it will become. So try to incorporate physical activity into your daily routine. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk to the store instead of driving, or get up and move around every hour or so.
Moving more has a number of benefits for children, including:
- Improved motor skills. Moving more helps children develop their motor skills, coordination, and balance. This is important for everyday activities, such as walking, running, and playing sports.
- Improved cognitive function. Moving more has also been shown to improve cognitive function in children. Studies have shown that children who are physically active tend to do better in school and have better attention spans.
- Reduced risk of obesity. Moving more helps children maintain a healthy weight. Obesity is a risk factor for a number of health problems, including heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.
- Improved mental health. Moving more can also help improve children's mental health. Exercise has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. It can also boost self-esteem and confidence.
Moving more also has a number of benefits for adults, including:
- Reduced risk of heart disease. Moving more can help reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. These are all leading causes of death in the United States.
- Improved weight management. Moving more can help you maintain a healthy weight. Exercise burns calories and helps build muscle. Muscle burns more calories than fat, so the more muscle you have, the easier it will be to lose weight and keep it off.
- Improved mood. Moving more can help improve your mood. Exercise has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. It can also boost self-esteem and confidence.

- Find an activity that you enjoy. If you don't enjoy your workout, you're less likely to stick with it. So choose activities that you find enjoyable, whether that's walking, running, biking, swimming, or playing sports.
- Make it a social activity. One of the best ways to stay motivated is to exercise with friends or family. This can make it more fun and help you stay accountable.
- Set realistic goals. Don't try to do too much too soon. Start by setting small, achievable goals, and then gradually increase the amount of activity you do over time.
- Reward yourself. When you reach your goals, reward yourself with something you enjoy. This will help you stay motivated and make moving more a regular part of your life.
Moving more is essential for both children and adults. It helps us stay healthy, strong, and happy. So make physical activity a priority in your life. Find activities that you enjoy and make it a regular part of your routine. You'll be glad you did!
